When I got inside, I looked at the letters in my hand. One of them said "Royal Mail" on it.
Could this be what I thought it was? I opened it shakily and not as carefully as I would have liked. Inside was a letter with two cards. This is what I saw on the first card:
I couldn't believe it! I was invited to the funeral and reinterment ceremony for the long dead English monarch, Richard III, selected from 14,000 people from around the world who had entered the public ballot for a seat at this historic occasion.
This is the story of how I came to be invited, my interest in King Richard, and my adventures in England.
